Happy New Year
Your iirst pay check this year is going to
shrink a little. Social Security taxes have gone
up
That may be just a preview of what's to
come during the next few months. The presi-
dent is considering proposing a hike in income
taxes to pay for the war in Vietnam and the
war on poverty.
The Post Office Department is still losing
money, as it always has, and officials are kick-
ing around the idea of raising postage charges.
The Texas legislature went back into ses-
sion Tuesday and that is always bad news.
The governor says his "conservative" ad-
ministration will need $100,000,000 in new tax-
es and it may mean an expansion of the sales

tax, a boost in gasoline taxes, a franchise tax,
or any one of these and several other sources.
Morris county is talking up i new court
house now and that, together with road right
of way, can't mean anything but more money.
The Pewitt school trustees already have
raised the price of school lunches, and they are
beginning to wonder if maybe the district isn't
ready for a general tax raise.
You can be sure, too, that there won't fce
enough money at the city hall to pay for every
thing that everybody wants and the only way
to get the money is to raise taxes.
It's a miserable start for a brand new 1967
but we hope it will be a happy for all of you
taxpayers anyway.

SAGE OF SULPHUR BOTTOM
Amazed to learn that Russia
has its share of drop outs
(Editor's note: The Sage cf
Sulphur Bottom on his john-
son grass farm discovers some-
thing new about Russia, his
letter this week reveals.)
Dear editar:
According to a newspaper
•which a neighbor had gift-
wrapped a Christmas present
in for me — not too fancy but
it worked — the Russians are
having a problem I never
dreamed they'd have.
They've got drop-outs in
their school system.
That's right. This article,
after I got it smoothed out
where I could read it (you
ever tried to wrap potatoes in.
a newspaper without wrinkling
it?) said drop-outs are running
as high as 25 per cent and the
Russian officials are trying tc
do something about it.
This is amazing news. I had
thought that every child in
Russia went to a modern
school, was never late, that he
began studying nuclear science
in the second grade and
launched a rocket by the time
he was 12.
I had thought that when he
finished high school at the
head of his class — in fact I

thought everybody over there
finished at the lioad of his
class — he went through col-
lege in three years and then
took a job in a scientific fac-
tory and complained only
when he wasn't allowed to
work seven days a week.
Now though that I've found
out that there are such things
as Russian drop-outskys. I
don't know what to think. You
reckon the school kids over
there ever have fist fights?
Don't they know they're all
comrades? You reckon one of
them ever complained about
a school lunch? What dies the
Russian government do when
it finds out some kids don't
like algebra?
The more you think about
this the more you begin to
wonder about other things.
How many failures have the
Russians had with satellite
launchings? Do they ever have
bad colds? Has the battery in a
dictator's car ever failed to
start'
Or how many Chinese really
prefer a nuclear bomb to a
bowl of rice? Or do young Viet
Cong soldiers really look for-
ward to a fifty-year war?
You reckon all the world's
nations got problems too?
Yours faithfully,
J. A.
